Lesson Learned 6 -- Decide...

Stripe, as well as Stripe Connect, is very easy to integrate: it has a lot of documentation and a very simple and powerful API. Yet, for those who are new to online payments & e-commerce, Stripe integration might cause issues and unexpected side effects. This article is to describe some of our lessons learned so that when you integrate Stripe Connect for your business, you can easily avoid or overcome them. … ## Lesson learned 2 – Fully customizable onboarding is a pain Copy link Stripe Connect comes with onboarding options, which means you might outsource users' onboarding & verification to Stripe, and new users will have to fill out the forms to complete their profiles, or you might conduct your own onboarding & verification within the Platform. The second option allows you to make it look as you wish and avoid Stripe-related info during onboarding & verification. Yet, even if it seems really attractive, it is not an easy way. There is a lot of data to deal with, a lot of cases to consider, and a lot of formatting. Otherwise handled by Stripe, you can feel the pain of integrating all of that into your platform. So, make sure you have a strong, important reason not to use the Stripe Express onboarding flow.
